Start planning your finest lemon-themed outfits and get ready for this year’s 28th Annual Lemon Festival!

Taking place on Saturday, August 16th from 11:00am to 6:00pm, Downtown Chula Vista’s Third Avenue will transform into a lemon-filled oasis that pays tribute the city’s rich agricultural history. Chula Vista was once known as “Lemon Capitol of the World.” Although the lemon groves are no more, many of the homes in the area have their own lemon trees.
Join us for this annual celebration of citrus.
This year’s Lemon Festival includes two stages of live music, zesty photo opps, a kids zone for the Lil’ Lemons, arts and crafts vendors and delicious food options.

Contests
This year’s Lemon Festival features TWO exciting contests for attendees to participate in!
The new Lemon Pie Eating Contest (2:00 pm at the Zesty Stage) and the Best Dressed of the Lemon Fest Contest (3:30 pm at the Juicy Stage) invite attendees to show their lemon love, both with their appetites and their outfits.
Prizes will include gift cards and goodies from local Third Avenue businesses. Both contests require online applications to be filled out in advance, which you can access via the links below.
